The jury is still out on exactly how and in what numbers Asian Americans voted on Tuesday, but while number-crunching is underway the first, most "official" figure being reported is based on CNN/AP/Edison national exit poll data, finding that Asian Americans gave 68% of their three-party vote to Barack Obama, with the 35% going to John McCain, and 3% going to "Other" or else refusing to reply. This is broad-stroke projecting, and was based on a sample in which Asian Americans constituted only 2% of respondents. Overall, the "by race" tally (for the presidential race alone) looks like this:
· White (74% of respondents) - 43% Obama, 55% McCain, 2% Other
· African-American (13%) - 95% Obama, 4% McCain, 1% Other
· Latino (9%) - 67% Obama, 31% McCain, 2% Other
· Asian (2%) - 62% Obama, 35% McCain, 3% Other
· Other Race (3%) - 66% Obama, 31% McCain, 3% Other
This finding -- if it holds upon further and finer examination -- indicates that the Asian American vote has maintained a leftward trend ever since a majority collectively backed George HW Bush against Bill Clinton in 1992.

these are interesting and very telling numbers. i am a fifth generation tex-dane and you cant imagine how few of us there are. this makes me wonder how my cousins voted. smile
i felt barry obama was a socialist w/ communistic leanings and that strays dramatically from republican concepts.
